Just did this. A few notes to hopefully help others. The wire harness on my was much more snug, I had to remove the top hose and bolts and was able to remove the housing out of the back, leaving the harness in place. I drained close to 5 quarts of coolant which was enough for me to remove all hoses without excess drip, I still had a little coolant left in the reservoir (not even close to the cold fill point) I ended up putting roughly 7 quarts back in and still need to add another 2 quarts. I've read that these hold 11 of it's bone dry so I was pretty close to emptying it completely. I was worried about rust so I sprayed the bolts with pb blaster a few times leading up to the swap. Fortunately there wasn't an issue. Thanks for the video. We'll see how this one works out

How about a video showing the procedure for a 2002 explorer with a 4.6 engine? There doesn't seem to be a video of this as it looks like it would involve a hundred more steps with that engine.

+@MichaelBrown-th8bl We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
is this the same process for the v8 models?
7:10 -- hose must be very loose on the pipe for those steps to get the bottom hose onto the pipe...
Good job
502 Ford explorer XLT sport the thermostat itself is stuck open and I can't get the
Torque 89 inches of pounds . I will said : be very very very careful removing those bolts, just Imagin if they broke in 😮
